CAMPUS TOUR
What to Expect
Meet With Our Admissions Team:
Share your aspirations and get answers to your questions as we take the time to get to know your family.
Experience Our Vibrant Learning Environments:
Tour our campus and observe a typical school day with your Admissions host. Peek into classrooms, see students engaged with their learning, and interact with members of our community along the way.
Gain Resources:
At the end of your visit, you'll receive a folder containing comprehensive information about our school that you can reference whenever you need to. It includes step-by-step instructions on how to apply should you choose to continue the admissions process.
Please Note
Our initial campus visits are tailored for parents, providing a focused and informative experience. We look forward to getting to know your child personally during their own campus visit later in the admissions process.

2025 Heart and Hand Conference
Heart & Hand is a one-day, in-person conference designed to provide practical tools for fostering children’s emotional and cognitive growth. The name reflects two key principles: the importance of strong relationships (heart) and hands-on, experiential learning (hand). Sessions will focus on real-world strategies for guiding children, particularly ages 15 months to 6 years, in ways that support their independence, confidence, and curiosity.
